Amber helps create awareness on breast cancer
 |
CELEBRITY SUPPORT: Amber posing in front of the campaign poster as she holds a basket containing teddy bears which will be sold for RM25 each in aid of charity. The ‘Wear It Pink’ drive has other activities such as roadshows, charity dinner and an 8km fun walk. |
“Breast cancer is very scary and I've seen the suffering it inflicts on those I know,” she said.
“But don't forget I'm also a young woman who can become a victim of breast cancer,” she told a press conference yesterday to announce the Wear It Pink breast cancer education and awareness drive.
The campaign, themed Educate, Empower and Encourage is jointly organised by the Pantai Medical Centre and Asia Assistance Network (M) Sdn Bhd.
Amber, whose popularity soared after becoming a co-winner of the Guess' International Model search last year, advised breast cancer survivors to be strong and not be afraid to live their lives.
To help raise funds, 200 limited edition T-shirts designed by Bernard Chandran, will be on sale at RM129.90 each.
